The lights are caused by _________ electrically charged particles interacting with the Earth magnetic field.
-
Lighting

Sun
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Solar winds are streams of charged particles, mainly electrons and protons, emitted by the Sun. When these charged particles interact with the Earth's magnetic field, they can cause the phenomenon known as the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. The charged particles from the solar winds excite the atoms and molecules in the Earth's atmosphere, causing them to emit light. Therefore, the lights mentioned in the question are caused by solar winds interacting with the Earth's magnetic field.
